There's no listing in the Plasticart-Zschopau section of Burn's CVG for a Tu-126. Oddly, there's no mention of a Tu-95 either and I coulda sworn they did one. Anyone else? hth

Yep. I have a half-finished one downstairs. It's hard to tell exactly which Bear it is though.

You might be thinking of their Tu-114 kit.

No listing of a Tu-95 or a Tu-126 at that site either. So it must be the Tu-114. I remember an article in Scale Modeler where the author decided the prop blades were mounted the wrong way so he cut and remounted all the prop blades. Anyone want that job? Cheers,

Since most don't remember it I posted a pic over at abms.
